If for some reason the page Waze Map Editor moves to a new location (page name changes) or the Waze Map Editor page is getting to long and you want to move the information to a seperate page or you want users to get to the Map Editor Interface and Controls page.the only page you have to change is the [url=https://www.waze.com/wiki/index.php?title=Permalink&redirect=no]Permalink[/url] page.

[[Waze Map Editor#Permalink|Permalink]]

This works fine, is the documented Wiki instruction for a link, and does not depend on some other strange bug workaround that might break in the next update. :lol:

Note: I did go through the Wiki just now and replace all single permalink wikilinks to the one I listed above. They all tested fine from Wiki pages.

I can live with that solution.

The triple Permalink link has 2 advantages:* If in the future, you want to point people to an other location in the wiki about Permalinks you just have to change the Permalink page.* Triple Permalink is easy to remember ;-)

If you want to send someone to the Permalink specific subsection from the Wiki, you enter:

This generates a valid page link (= not red link) but the redirect to the section does not work.I believe this is caused by the same problem: page redirect to a section on an other pages does not work properly.

I want to do a redirection for Permalink and I came tot the same problem.But I think I have a really nice workaround for the problem but it involves some small edits on all existing pages that are linking to the Permalink page and Template:Permalink.

Current situation:* linking to the Permalink section is done by: [[Permalink]]* including the explanation of Permalink on a page (template): {{Permalink}}* Permalink page: redirect to the Permalink section* Template page: explanation of Permalink

Suggestion A:* linking to the Permalink section: {{Permalink}}* including the explanation of Permalink on a page: {{:Permalink}}* Permalink page: explanation of Permalink* Template page: Simple link to Permalink section:

Suggestion B: The opposite of A:* linking to the Permalink section: {{:Permalink}}* including the explanation of Permalink on a page: {{Permalink}}

The question is what do you want to show the user if he reaches the permalink page?* Redirect (current behaviour)* Only the explaination of Permalink* A link where the full explaination of Permalink can be found* Customized text. (with the use of <noinlcude> and <includeonly> almost everything is possible)

What doesn't work is combining #REDIRECT with <noinclude> or <includeonly>

I keep finding old messages from 2005-2006 that says you cannot redirect to an anchor (we aren't even trying to do that). However today if you go to Wikipedia and search for "Intel SSD" you will be taken to a section on that page that is only reached by the anchor template just before that section displayed. Therefore sometime after 2006 this bug has been fixed at least for Wikipedia.
